Driving in the car today:

Emily: Daddy, can you please drive fast, like you did before?

Me: Sorry, I can’t right now.

Emily: Why not?

Me: Because the car in front of us is going slowly. You know what will happen if I go fast now, right?

Emily: Yes. (Thinks for a moment) Daddy, you should slow down.

Me: Slow down? I thought you wanted me to go faster!

Emily: But if you slow down, the car in front of us will get further and further away. Then, when there’s lots of space between us and him, you can go fast!
